Among the things that I’d like to do with my home, is replacing light bulb sockets. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve theorized that not every single bulb manufactured is a dud, but that it’s got to be something wrong with my home itself to where light bulbs are constantly going out way too quickly.
The question then became, how did the bulb sockets become so crappy to where they chew up bulbs like a pickup truck guzzles unleaded? Sure, there’s probably something to be said about the shortcuts used and shoddy craftsmanship gone into the construction of my house, but at the same time age has to be a factor in this equation as well; I’ve lived in this house for ten years now, so the sockets are probably all charred and cooked after a decade.
But then I had to repeat that last part to myself: I’ve lived in this house for ten years.
